Worst Pests of
Chicken Raiser
Coccidiosis and Lice Cause
of High Mortality
of Fowls.
( By E. ALLEN LUTZ.)
Newspapers, magazines, poultry
fournals and other miscellaneous
books dwell, perhaps, more on this
subject than any other for the small
isnd large poultry breeders and rats-ors,
yet little Or no attention is paid
.10 the profit- eating parasites, espe-
Nally by the small or amateur poul-try
MAD.
The expert poultry advisers con-
Aected with different state poultry de-partments
and universities are sent
Out each year for the express purpose
of informing the poultry keeper how
to ward off different chicken diseases,
and coccidiosis and lice are the back-bone
of every talk. The instructors
generally attend all poultry shows as
tar as possible and their contention is
that 50 per cent of day- old chicks die
before two weeks old through the
glaring carelessness to handle these
wo important subjects before they
; et beyond control.
Coccidiosis Cure.
Coccidiosis can be cured if started
In time. It is really white diarrhea
caused by lice, though sometimes it
is caused by parasites picked up off
the ground. Giving a dose of salts
either in the drinking water or by
force to flush the liver out good will
prevent it from spreading, taking
care to clean the premises thoroughly.
Different poultry remedies may be
Used to good advantage, but if neg-ected
and left to spread will often-
: imes wipe out half the flock before
It is checked. Quick action at the
Start will avoid the loss of day- olds.
Watch the baby chicks from time
of hatching, cleaning utensils daily
and also coops in which you keep
them and your battle against disease
will be practically won. Treatment
at the start will save not only the in-fected
ones but the entire flock. The
first signs of coccidiosis are: Lack of
pep, standing around as though asleep
with head up, and bowel movements
white and loose, at times sticking to
the vent.
Control Lice.
Lice may be controlled and com-pletely
annihilated by the use of the
different p8ultry sprays. One that is
good is nicotine, easily obtainable and
a " sure cure." For small chickens use
nicotine diluted half and half with
, voter, putting it on as you would
whitewash or spraying just before
toasting time. For the main flock use
It straight. It will not burn or poi-so!!—

fore chickens go to roost will en-tirely
free them of parasites in one
night. To tell results lay a newspa-per
over the dropping board after ap-
• lying the nicotine and if the hens
have lice you will see them fall off.
Cate application is sufficient, but it is
a good plan to repeat it every month,
thus assuring you a clean hen house
and healthy, happy chickens.
' Cheap pipe tobacco used one pound
to a hundred pounds of mash, mixed
thoroughly, will improve the flock. as
It rids the fowls of any intestinal
worms they may have, and most of
them have some though they may
never be noticed. Hanging tobacco
stems in a henhouse is claimed by
some poultry raisers to keep the
premises free from lice.
Corn and Barley Right
for Hogs on Alfalfa
Corn and barley are the two best
grains to be fed to pigs on alfalfa
pasture though some oats or some
mill feed can also be used to good
advantage. If it is intended to make
the growing pigs on alfalfa pasture
ready for market at the earliest possi-ble
date, they can be fed to very good
advantage by putting corn or barley
and oats or middlings and tankage
each in separate compartments of a
self- feeder and be allowed to eat as
much as they care for each of the feeds.
A good slop can be made by first
snaking a dry mixture of 50 per cent
ground corn or ground barley, 40
per cent middlings or reddog flour,
and 10 per cent tankage, then mak-ing
this into a swill by mixing it
with skim milk, buttermilk, or water.
It should not be necessary, however,
to feed any swill to pigs receiving
grain from a self- feeder while on al-falfa
pasture, unless one is desirous
of getting the most rapid gains possi-ble,
rather than the most economical
gains.
Distinguishing Sex in
Young Geese Difficult
Distinguishing the sex in young
geese causes considerable concern to
Many and yet the differences in sex
are quite marked. Take the bird in
question and remove it from the flock,
leave it loose in a pen and in sight
of the flack and listen to the call. The
female has a voice with a high note
and of a double sound, while the male
I, bass in sound and of a single note.
Mate one male with two or three
females. Confine the mating in a pen
by themselves, away from all other
geese and keep them by themselyes
from December until spring when the
breeding season commences. When
once they are properly mated different
roofings can be allowed to run togeth-er
during the winter and they will
separate out in the spring, each male
mating with the same females as in
the previous mating season.
Wake Up at Last to
Big Soy Bean Value
Grown in United States for
More Than Century.
Although it has been more than a
century since Soy beans were brought
to the United States from Japan, it
Is only in recent years that the value
of the crop has been recognized, and
the acreage in the Middle West and
South has increased more rapidly than
the acreage of any other crop.
For several decades the beans were
grown only as a feed for live stock.
Recently, however, attention has been
given to the extraction from the seed
of a valuable oil, used not only in
live stock feed and in human food,
but commercially in the manufacture
of paints and varnishes. Soy beana
as a source of human food have al-ways
been important in the Orient
and there is a growing use of the
products of the crop for food in this
country.
The soy bean fits well into crop ro-tations
as a cash crop, the soy bean
hay can profitably be fed to all farm
animals, and the beans may be used
in silage, cut and feed green, or pas-tured.
The soy bean is a legume and
Improves the soil in which it grows,
by depositing nitrogen from the air.
It is more acid- tolerant than some of
the clovers and will grow where they
will not grow.
" Soy Bean Utilization," a new bulle-tin
of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.,
covers several phases of the subject,
giving the results of feeding experi-ments,
and is distributed free by the
office of information of the Depart-ment
of Agriculture.
Condition Tells Best
Time to Cut Alfalfa
It's time to renew the old argument
about when to cut the first crop of al-falfa.
L. E. Graber of the college of agri-culture,
University of Wisconsin, says
that quality of the crop should always
be the guide, and that cutting based
on stages of growth is not a good
practice, because conditions vary in
different seasons.
When it is desirable to have the
alfalfa last a long time, the best prac-tice
is to cut it as late as possible
without sacrificing quality.
The root growth of alfalfa, accord-ing
to Graber, is just as important as
the top growth, and cutting should be
done in a way that will stimulate a
healthy root development. Alfalfa cut
three or four times a year in Wiscon-sin
will have a much retarded root
growth. This means a poor alfalfa
crop the, following seas- in. Bv cutting
late to get good hay, the alfalfa plants
are given a chance to develop roots
and to produce good cutting the iol-lowing
season.
" Whether alfalfa should be cut in
tenth bloom, full bloom, or no bloom
at all is not the way to determine
practices," Graber said. " Quality is
a better guide than stage of growth."
Careless Pickers Harm
Trees Unnecessarily
During fruit season there is always
some damage done the trees by care-less
pickers. Instead of neglecting the
matter, go over the orchard the fol-lowing
week, remove broken limbs and
straighten those which have been
drawn out of shape. Spots where bark
has been stripped should be treated
with a coat of lead and linseed oil.
Any cavities found are cleaned out,
down to healthy wood, then filled with
a mixture made up of one part ce-ment
to two parts sand. Just enough
water is added to mix the materials.
These repairs require but very little
time and bother, and they are usually
made when other farm work is not
pressing. The cost of materials used is
seldom more than a few cents, but the
plan carefully followed adds years to
the life of an orchard.
Agricultural Hints
......•••••••••••• ■ •••• ■ ••••••••• ■ ••••• ■ ■ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
June 15 to July 15 is the principal
season for sowing alfalfa.
* * *
Potash is needed on most sandy
types of soil, also on muck and chaffy
soils.
* * *
Order seeds and fertilizers at the
same time. Then you will be ready
for a flying start.
* * *
One can grow the green Italian
broccoli now in the market at home
as easy as anything. Order some
seed.
* * *
Kill weeds in lawns and along fence
rows before they go to seed. A great
deal of hard work later will thus be
prevented.
* * *
There is no safer investment than
money spent in draining fertile soil
on which crops suffer from too much
moisture.
* • *
The ladybug is the grower's best
friend. If you see one in your house
this spring, trying to find a warm
place to hide, resist the temptation
to swat it. The ladybug eats plant
lice.
* * •
Midsummer cultivation in the gar-den
and orchard is too often neglect-ed.
It is at this time that many spe-cies
of weeds are making their seeds.
Their control will lessen the labor of
cultivation the following year.

Lesson for June 8
JESUS IN THE SHADOW OF THE
CROSS
LESSON TEXT— Matthew 26: 1- 46.
GOLDEN TEXT— He went a little
farther, and fell on his face, and
Prayed, saying, 0, my Father, if it be
possible, let this CUp pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.
PRIMARY TOPIC-- Jesus Proves His
Love for Us.
JUNIOR TOPIC— Jesus Suffering for
Us.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-IC—
The Agony in the Garden.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-IC—
Gethsemane.
I. Plotting the Death of Jesus ( vv.
1- 5).
Christ with divine insight predicted
not only the fact of His death, but its
time and manner. The Jewish author-ities
in secret conclave were plotting
to silence His voice by putting him to
death. In spite of themselves they
were moving in the line of God's de-cree.
II. Mary of Bethany Anoints Jesus
( vv. 6- 13).
1. The meaning of the act ( vv. 6, 7).
' Ms anointing occurred when Jesus
was at meat in Simon's house. Mary
had the keenest apprehension of all
the disciples. By sitting at His feet
In loving fellowship, she obtained a
grasp of truth which none of the
other disciples had. She saw that His
body was to be broken and that His
precious life was to go out. She en-tered
Into fellowship with Ills suffer-ings
and the joy of His resurrection.
2. The indignation of the disciples
( vv. 8, 9).
The action of the disciples is in
strange contrast with Mary's love.
3. Mary defended by Christ ( vv. 10-
13).
Jesus could not allow His most ap-preciative
disciple to lie under this
censure, so He came to her rescue. As
a result of Christ's defense, Judas is
so stingingly rebuked that he hastens
away to betray his Lord.
III. Jesus Betrayed ( vv. 14- 30).
1. The bargain of betrayal ( vv. 14-
18).
Satan so completely had the mas-tery
over Judas that he sold his Lord
a of a slave
biitrayal— announced ( vv. 20-
25).
While they were eating the Pass,
over Jesus made this announcement.
Who knows but that the reason for
the announcement at this time was to
give Judas an opportunity to repent?
The sorrowful question in verse 22
indicates that the disciples did not
seem to suspect one another, but di-rected
personal attention to them-selves.
IV. The Disciples Warned ( vv. 31-
35).
This took place as they walked from
the upper room to the garden of Geth-semane.
Jesus plainly told them, " All
ye shall be offended because of me
this night," quoting Zechariah 13: 7 as
proof. Though He told them of the
darkness which was gathering, yet He
gave them a glimpse of the coming
light. He said, " After I am risen again
I will go before you into Galilee."
V. Jesus Praying ( vv. 36- 46).
1. The place— the Garden of Geth-semane
( v. 36).
Gethsemane means oil press. It was
a place some three- fourths of a mile
east of Jerusalem, where oil was
crushed out of the olives.
2. His companions ( v. 37).
Peter, James and John. The same
disciples who had been with Him on
the Mount of Transfiguration . are per-mitted
to go with Him into the deep
shadow of the Garden. They slept,
while He prayed.
3. Jesus sorrowing even unto death
( vv. 37, 38).
The cause of His suffering was not
primarily physical, but spiritual. The
physical is not to be n:. ii:- but
the burden of sin— the world's sin—
was pressing heavily upon Him. He
was being made sin for us ( II Cor.
5: 21).
4. The prayer itself ( v. 39).
" 0 my Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from me." What was
this cup? It was not prayer to be de-livered
from the cross. The idea that
He desired to escape from the cross
and thus stop short of His redemptive
work is not to be entertained. Re-demption
through the sacrifice of
Himself was the supreme purpose of
Isis coming into the world. The holi-ness
and perfection of His nature
moved Him to shrink from the moon-tam
of sin which was resting upon
Him. Though the cup was bitter, He
bowed in submission to the Father's
will.
An Important Power
Man has one power in particular
which is not sufficiently dwelt on. It
is the power of making the world hap-py,
or at least of so greatly diminish-ing
the amount of unhappiness in it
as to make quite a different world
from what it is at present. The pow-er
is called kindness.— F. W. Faber.
Four R's Needed
We need the four It's, not three:
Reading, ' Biting, Itithrnetic and Re-ligion.—
The Burning Bosh.
It's' 15e and
People are so fond of wild flow-ers
that it is surprising they do not
raise them in their gardens. Have
your own bed of sweet williams.
Watch Your Step
On what basis the calculation is
made is not stated, but some fellow
with a sharp pencil has worked It
out that the accident list of last
year cost this country $ 960,000,000.
Almost one- third of this w'as repre-sented
in automobile casualties.
Just say to your grocer Red Cross
Ball Blue when buying bluing. Ton
will be more than repaid by the re-sults.
Once trio- 1 always used.— Adv.
One Point of View
No run on my bank can drain It,
for my wealth is not possession but
enjoyment.
After a man has been married
about so long he joins the peace- at-anyone
in an argument.
Probably the easiest way to ac-quire
wealth is to inherit it.
Didn't Need Help
Schoolmaster — Did your father
help you with this problem?
Boy— No, I got it wrong myself.—
Answers.
He who invests money in an inn
thinks he will get more out of it. '
The recording angel plays neither-(
favorites nor long shots.
Working and Praying
Work as if you were to live
100 years, pray as if you were to die
tomorrow.— Franklin.
Big attendance doesn't make am r
event important ; but it helps an im-portant
event mightily.

leave it loose in a pen and in sight
of the flack and listen to the call. The
female has a voice with a high note
and of a double sound, while the male
I, bass in sound and of a single note.
Mate one male with two or three
females. Confine the mating in a pen
by themselves, away from all other
geese and keep them by themselyes
from December until spring when the
breeding season commences. When
once they are properly mated different
roofings can be allowed to run togeth-er
during the winter and they will
separate out in the spring, each male
mating with the same females as in
the previous mating season.
Wake Up at Last to
Big Soy Bean Value
Grown in United States for
More Than Century.
Although it has been more than a
century since Soy beans were brought
to the United States from Japan, it
Is only in recent years that the value
of the crop has been recognized, and
the acreage in the Middle West and
South has increased more rapidly than
the acreage of any other crop.
For several decades the beans were
grown only as a feed for live stock.
Recently, however, attention has been
given to the extraction from the seed
of a valuable oil, used not only in
live stock feed and in human food,
but commercially in the manufacture
of paints and varnishes. Soy beana
as a source of human food have al-ways
been important in the Orient
and there is a growing use of the
products of the crop for food in this
country.
The soy bean fits well into crop ro-tations
as a cash crop, the soy bean
hay can profitably be fed to all farm
animals, and the beans may be used
in silage, cut and feed green, or pas-tured.
The soy bean is a legume and
Improves the soil in which it grows,
by depositing nitrogen from the air.
It is more acid- tolerant than some of
the clovers and will grow where they
will not grow.
" Soy Bean Utilization," a new bulle-tin
of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.,
covers several phases of the subject,
giving the results of feeding experi-ments,
and is distributed free by the
office of information of the Depart-ment
of Agriculture.
Condition Tells Best
Time to Cut Alfalfa
It's time to renew the old argument
about when to cut the first crop of al-falfa.
L. E. Graber of the college of agri-culture,
University of Wisconsin, says
that quality of the crop should always
be the guide, and that cutting based
on stages of growth is not a good
practice, because conditions vary in
different seasons.
When it is desirable to have the
alfalfa last a long time, the best prac-tice
is to cut it as late as possible
without sacrificing quality.
The root growth of alfalfa, accord-ing
to Graber, is just as important as
the top growth, and cutting should be
done in a way that will stimulate a
healthy root development. Alfalfa cut
three or four times a year in Wiscon-sin
will have a much retarded root
growth. This means a poor alfalfa
crop the, following seas- in. Bv cutting
late to get good hay, the alfalfa plants
are given a chance to develop roots
and to produce good cutting the iol-lowing
season.
" Whether alfalfa should be cut in
tenth bloom, full bloom, or no bloom
at all is not the way to determine
practices," Graber said. " Quality is
a better guide than stage of growth."
Careless Pickers Harm
Trees Unnecessarily
During fruit season there is always
some damage done the trees by care-less
pickers. Instead of neglecting the
matter, go over the orchard the fol-lowing
week, remove broken limbs and
straighten those which have been
drawn out of shape. Spots where bark
has been stripped should be treated
with a coat of lead and linseed oil.
Any cavities found are cleaned out,
down to healthy wood, then filled with
a mixture made up of one part ce-ment
to two parts sand. Just enough
water is added to mix the materials.
These repairs require but very little
time and bother, and they are usually
made when other farm work is not
pressing. The cost of materials used is
seldom more than a few cents, but the
plan carefully followed adds years to
the life of an orchard.
Agricultural Hints
......•••••••••••• ■ •••• ■ ••••••••• ■ ••••• ■ ■ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
June 15 to July 15 is the principal
season for sowing alfalfa.
* * *
Potash is needed on most sandy
types of soil, also on muck and chaffy
soils.
* * *
Order seeds and fertilizers at the
same time. Then you will be ready
for a flying start.
* * *
One can grow the green Italian
broccoli now in the market at home
as easy as anything. Order some
seed.
* * *
Kill weeds in lawns and along fence
rows before they go to seed. A great
deal of hard work later will thus be
prevented.
* * *
There is no safer investment than
money spent in draining fertile soil
on which crops suffer from too much
moisture.
* • *
The ladybug is the grower's best
friend. If you see one in your house
this spring, trying to find a warm
place to hide, resist the temptation
to swat it. The ladybug eats plant
lice.
* * •
Midsummer cultivation in the gar-den
and orchard is too often neglect-ed.
It is at this time that many spe-cies
of weeds are making their seeds.
Their control will lessen the labor of
cultivation the following year.

Lesson for June 8
JESUS IN THE SHADOW OF THE
CROSS
LESSON TEXT— Matthew 26: 1- 46.
GOLDEN TEXT— He went a little
farther, and fell on his face, and
Prayed, saying, 0, my Father, if it be
possible, let this CUp pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.
PRIMARY TOPIC-- Jesus Proves His
Love for Us.
JUNIOR TOPIC— Jesus Suffering for
Us.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-IC—
The Agony in the Garden.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-IC—
Gethsemane.
I. Plotting the Death of Jesus ( vv.
1- 5).
Christ with divine insight predicted
not only the fact of His death, but its
time and manner. The Jewish author-ities
in secret conclave were plotting
to silence His voice by putting him to
death. In spite of themselves they
were moving in the line of God's de-cree.
II. Mary of Bethany Anoints Jesus
( vv. 6- 13).
1. The meaning of the act ( vv. 6, 7).
' Ms anointing occurred when Jesus
was at meat in Simon's house. Mary
had the keenest apprehension of all
the disciples. By sitting at His feet
In loving fellowship, she obtained a
grasp of truth which none of the
other disciples had. She saw that His
body was to be broken and that His
precious life was to go out. She en-tered
Into fellowship with Ills suffer-ings
and the joy of His resurrection.
2. The indignation of the disciples
( vv. 8, 9).
The action of the disciples is in
strange contrast with Mary's love.
3. Mary defended by Christ ( vv. 10-
13).
Jesus could not allow His most ap-preciative
disciple to lie under this
censure, so He came to her rescue. As
a result of Christ's defense, Judas is
so stingingly rebuked that he hastens
away to betray his Lord.
III. Jesus Betrayed ( vv. 14- 30).
1. The bargain of betrayal ( vv. 14-
18).
Satan so completely had the mas-tery
over Judas that he sold his Lord
a of a slave
biitrayal— announced ( vv. 20-
25).
While they were eating the Pass,
over Jesus made this announcement.
Who knows but that the reason for
the announcement at this time was to
give Judas an opportunity to repent?
The sorrowful question in verse 22
indicates that the disciples did not
seem to suspect one another, but di-rected
personal attention to them-selves.
IV. The Disciples Warned ( vv. 31-
35).
This took place as they walked from
the upper room to the garden of Geth-semane.
Jesus plainly told them, " All
ye shall be offended because of me
this night," quoting Zechariah 13: 7 as
proof. Though He told them of the
darkness which was gathering, yet He
gave them a glimpse of the coming
light. He said, " After I am risen again
I will go before you into Galilee."
V. Jesus Praying ( vv. 36- 46).
1. The place— the Garden of Geth-semane
( v. 36).
Gethsemane means oil press. It was
a place some three- fourths of a mile
east of Jerusalem, where oil was
crushed out of the olives.
2. His companions ( v. 37).
Peter, James and John. The same
disciples who had been with Him on
the Mount of Transfiguration . are per-mitted
to go with Him into the deep
shadow of the Garden. They slept,
while He prayed.
3. Jesus sorrowing even unto death
( vv. 37, 38).
The cause of His suffering was not
primarily physical, but spiritual. The
physical is not to be n:. ii:- but
the burden of sin— the world's sin—
was pressing heavily upon Him. He
was being made sin for us ( II Cor.
5: 21).
4. The prayer itself ( v. 39).
" 0 my Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from me." What was
this cup? It was not prayer to be de-livered
from the cross. The idea that
He desired to escape from the cross
and thus stop short of His redemptive
work is not to be entertained. Re-demption
through the sacrifice of
Himself was the supreme purpose of
Isis coming into the world. The holi-ness
and perfection of His nature
moved Him to shrink from the moon-tam
of sin which was resting upon
Him. Though the cup was bitter, He
bowed in submission to the Father's
will.
An Important Power
Man has one power in particular
which is not sufficiently dwelt on. It
is the power of making the world hap-py,
or at least of so greatly diminish-ing
the amount of unhappiness in it
as to make quite a different world
from what it is at present. The pow-er
is called kindness.— F. W. Faber.
Four R's Needed

Watch Your Step
On what basis the calculation is
made is not stated, but some fellow
with a sharp pencil has worked It
out that the accident list of last
year cost this country $ 960,000,000.
Almost one- third of this w'as repre-sented
in automobile casualties.
Just say to your grocer Red Cross
Ball Blue when buying bluing. Ton

One Point of View
No run on my bank can drain It,
for my wealth is not possession but
enjoyment.
After a man has been married
about so long he joins the peace- at-anyone
in an argument.
Probably the easiest way to ac-quire
wealth is to inherit it.
Didn't Need Help
Schoolmaster — Did your father
help you with this problem?
Boy— No, I got it wrong myself.—

Working and Praying

100 years, pray as if you were to die
tomorrow.— Franklin.

event important ; but it helps an im-portant
event mightily.
